Arizona is a hiker's paradise, and April is the perfect time to explore the state's stunning landscapes. From towering mountains to picturesque canyons, Arizona has it all. Whether you're a professional hiker or a beginner, there's a trail for everyone. In this guide, we'll explore the top hiking trails in Arizona in April and how you can easily access them with Arizona Shuttle.
Camelback Mountain
Camelback Mountain is one of the most popular hiking destinations in Phoenix and for good reason. Two trails to choose from - Echo Canyon and Cholla - offer challenging ascents and breathtaking city views. The trails are open from dawn to dusk, and starting early is recommended to avoid the crowds and heat.
West Fork Trail
Located in Sedona, West Fork Trail is a scenic hiking trail that takes you along Oak Creek. The track is relatively easy, perfect for families or those who want to enjoy a leisurely hike. With towering red rock walls and a babbling creek, the trail offers plenty of photo opportunities. Bring water shoes; you'll need to cross the creek a few times.
Havasu Falls
Havasu Falls is one of the most stunning waterfalls in Arizona, and the hike to get there is equally breathtaking. The track is approximately 10 miles roundtrip, and the steep descent into the canyon is not for the faint of heart. However, the turquoise waterfalls and pools at the end are well worth the effort. The trail is located on the Havasupai Indian Reservation and requires a permit to access.
Grand Canyon National Park
With over 800 miles of hiking courses, there are plenty of options to explore. A list of top hiking trails in Arizona would only be complete by mentioning the Grand Canyon. The Bright Angel Trail is a popular choice, offering stunning views of the canyon and the Colorado River. It's recommended to hike only a portion of the trail in one day and bring plenty of water and snacks.
Superstition Mountains
Located east of Phoenix, the Superstition Mountains offer a wide range of hiking trails, from easy to strenuous. The Peralta Trail is a popular choice, taking you through the Sonoran Desert and offering stunning views of the surrounding mountains. Bring plenty of water, sunscreen, and a hat, as the trail is exposed and can get hot.
There's no better way to explore the beauty of Arizona than by hitting the trails. With so many options, planning and preparing for the hike is essential. And with Arizona Shuttle, accessing these hiking trails has always been challenging. Book your shuttle today and get ready to explore the great outdoors.
